On this day in 1821 - Spain ceded Florida to the U.S.
1862 - National cemeteries were authorized by the U.S. government.

1941 - Brigadier General Soervell directed Architect G. Edwin Bergstrom to have basic plans and architectural perspectives for an office building that could house 40,000 War Department employees on his desk by the following Monday morning. The building became known as the Pentagon.
1944 - 232 people were killed when 2 ammunition ships exploded in Port Chicago, CA.
1945 - U.S. President Truman, Soviet leader Josef Stalin and British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill began meeting at Potsdam in the final Allied summit of World War II. During the meeting Stalin made the comment that "Hitler had escaped."
